Well, I know in the U.S. this past week there was some debate on this issue in regards to the U.S.. I do not know so much as a 'right' but looking at expansion into the rural areas. Something that Clinton was working on, and paid for, back in the 90's..
Telco fights them every time claiming that 98% can get it via wireless and dial up, but that is complete bullshit. Many telco's claim coverage that is shitty at best, and a lot of it not even usable.
It would be nice to see use get to Japan or some of the other countries speed and infrastructure. Kinda sad seeing the U.S. falling to the middle and end of the pack compared to the rest of the world in internet, education, health care, and so on.
